ryanfels Posted October 10, 2013 Share Posted October 10, 2013 Dam, forgot to get back to you about the rear shocks mounts. There is ZERO chance of getting a spring over a shock in that factory shock mount. D2 make an adapter that offsets the shock outwards to give you more room for a spring but even then, some bashing is required Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ta63-1uzze Posted October 11, 2013 Share Posted October 11, 2013 oh, shit I didn't know about them , to late now . I just picked up my bc mx73 suspension, I guess it doesn't make to much difference now ,will be able to adjust everything now anyway . so all is okey I will still be making a cross brace for the rear but will do that once I can put the car back on the floor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NVMPAJ Posted January 8, 2014 Share Posted January 8, 2014 http://imageshack.us/a/img827/8971/z3mr.jpg I've just ordered one of these that you may be interested in , it allows the hoses to mount a bit closer to the block so avoiding the chassis . $47 on Amazon or $70 odd from edge here in NZ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ta63-1uzze Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 nice, I didn't find these ones in my search.this is the one I have found http://www.ebay.com/itm/Greddy-12401114-Remote-Oil-Cooler-Filter-Relocation-with-Thermostat-/321289930137?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item4ace5f4599&vxp=mtr its a bit more pricey but it works out at the end of the day as i wanted a thermostat to keep oil temp correct , so by the time you add up extra fittings and buying a separate thermostat it works out easier to buy it all in one unit . i havent got it yet, but it looks nice and shinny i cant wait ! from the pictures the only down side i can see is its going to be shit to mount. and i may be limited in the choice of filter . hopefully i can fit a large filter . will have to wait in see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandangles Posted February 14, 2014 Share Posted February 14, 2014 whats going on with the remote oil filter adapter thingo? 2 lines in and out?? should it not be 1 in 1 out?? unless its got a thermostat? looks fuking mint either way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flyingbrick Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 awesome man! Just a thought though... I am probably wrong but the radiator outlet looks really high up...... When your motor is dry and you fill that radiator you won't get water to spill out of the outlet and back down into the engine and pump until the radiator is REALLY full... and how will the air get out of the top of that pipe? might just be talking shit 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roman Posted March 30, 2014 Share Posted March 30, 2014 Nice work!In my mind it makes sense to leave the camber tops for just camber though. There are already adjustable castor arms down the bottom, may as well keep the two adjustments seperate? It would make fine tuning a pain the ass if you just want to adjust camber and then end up removing/adding castor as well I reckon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would make fine tuning a pain the ass if you just want to adjust camber and then end up removing/adding castor as well I reckon. the only reason i made the plates is because the suspension isn't on the correct angles already, and i have to re drill the tower so as far as certification process goes if you modify any structural point you have to reinforce it to keep its strength, so i thought that if i am reinforcing it i may as well try and add some more adaptability in there just because i am already changing it. it was never a plan to do this, its just cause they aren't made for the pcd my strut towers came with from factory. i may not end up welding them in, its just an idea at this stage .
